Moderately Confused by Jeff Stahler for June 25, 2020

Just listen when you go outside, or stay inside and watch the news.

That’s called “naiveté” or, if you’re being polite, “innocence.”

There’s still a silent majority.

They’re angry because they read social media.

Angry is a word for it, I guess.

Or stupid.

Crowded conditions spawn the pandemic of a disease entity.

Social media spawn the pandemic of stupidity literally at the speed of light.

Their only outlet in an indifferent world. Can’t trust or talk to leaders. Can’t control political parties. Can’t rein in large corporations. Can’t damp down interest rates. Can’t manage health care costs or prices for housing. What’s left else but expressing oneself in the only open channel.

With states opening up across America, maybe we can move on to other things that make us smile.

Anger I knew, but the stupidity was a surprise. (I was stupid, I know)

Social media giants amplify anger, it is their growth engine.

Some are still miffed that businesses were looted and torched.

“Familiarity breeds contempt”.

It’s really more like Anti-Social Media.
